@peterboghossian I did criticize it, but I still picked "I am a coward" because I didn't criticize it nearly enough out of fear it would damage my career and end friendships.

@ConceptualJames I like to engage by turning their arguments around and using their own tactics against them.
Is this an effective way of revealing the flaws in their arguments, or am I just legitimizing their tactics?

@Quillette @ArminNavabi I can't read that sign without thinking "Turkeys for Thanksgiving",

A ripple effect of today's AI that not enough folks are considering is how much we rely on writing, for better or worse, for assessment: well-written essays get you into college, well-written resumes get you jobs, well-written emails get you promoted, etc.

That signal is gone.

@JohnPerenack @bruce_arthur Where have you found these people who love what's going on?
Everyone I've talked to is opposed to the idea.

@hankgreen Have you read the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" trilogy? The fourth book puts an interesting spin on astrology being fake, but a useful entry way for certain kinds of conversations that would otherwise require paying an expert.

@PascaleStOnge_ Passing C-18 was irresponsible.
Meta's and Google's response is sensible and entirely predictable.
Your government was warned by countless smaller news outlets, and you chose to ignore them.

[Kyle Clements @kyleclements]

@CBCNews Good for them. Canadian media companies deserve to lose traffic after pushing for C-18.

@ConceptualJames 35 degrees in the American deep South is newsworthy?
It gets that hot in Toronto during the summers.

Well this is certainly shocking news if true.
Glad to see replication studies are weeding out fraudulent research.

Turns out Dan Ariely faked his data. Behavioral econ is one of the frauds of the neoliberal era. https://t.co/9ghd4MCqO7

@pablorodriguez @PierrePoilievre Your argument here seems to be "the Conservatives learn from their mistakes; we don't"
Not a great message.

@nationalpost Instead of trying to extort big tech for giving you an audience, how about adapting your business model for the 21st century and producing content of high enough quality that people would be willing to pay for it?
